Scientists propose searching for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in exoplanet atmospheres as a potential indicator of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations—much like the pollution from fossil fuel combustion on Earth. Over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered in our galaxy, some potentially habitable. Dir

The European Space Agency (ESA) has confirmed the detection of hydrogen chloride traces in Mars atmosphere. While not linked to life, this discovery points to a novel chemical cycle that scientists are actively investigating. For the first time, ESAs ExoMars orbiter has identified hydrogen chloride

Chinas Tianhe core module, the foundation of the Tiangong space station, has successfully completed its flight acceptance tests and is primed for launch this spring, paving the way for the arrival of its first crew shortly after.
